Communicate with furry animals without any barriers, and take the farm to the next level

Chapter 275 Security Guard
Before these pipelines are even officially put into use, they may become a breeding ground for crimes committed by these criminals.

After all, it's clean and free of dirt, with convenient access in all directions, and it's also discreet.

The pipes in unfinished buildings are fine, they're usually too thin to hide people, but the underground ones are different. The pipes are deep and thick, so hiding a few people wouldn't be a problem. So Oswin locked up those sewer openings with the strongest locks.

However, we cannot let our guard down. There may not be any valuables in the house now, but that may not be the case in the future.

After some discussion, the Goben brothers decided to bring the giant ape and build a small thatched hut on the construction site as a temporary rest room for those on night duty.

From now on, we will arrange for people to patrol the construction site regularly every night.

In return, the Light Farm will pay them night shift fees in addition to the engineering costs.

With someone guarding the construction site day and night, Josh and Oswin finally felt at ease.

However, Josh still started thinking about the security issues in the future Weiguang Commercial District.

There are quite a few high-level magical beasts on the farm, but it's not realistic to send one of them to guard the Weiguang Commercial District every day.

Let alone whether the monsters want it or not, a high-level monster is already too powerful and destructive, and it's also too big. If bad guys run into the house, how can it catch them? It can't just knock down the building, can it?

The restrictions are too great.

We still need to find some medium-sized magical beasts that specialize in security. One or two might not be enough; it would be best if they were gregarious. We could hire a whole group and spread them out in every corner of the Weiguang Commercial District to firmly guard the safety of the commercial district.

"Professional security-oriented magical beasts?" Oswin thought of many magical beasts, but after careful consideration, none of them seemed suitable.

To stay in the Weiguang Commercial District long-term, besides having strong fighting skills, one's appearance cannot be too ferocious or ugly, nor can one be too irritable. Ideally, one should not be nervous around humans and should have a high level of friendliness.

In this way, all the magical beasts in his mind were eliminated.

Among the magical beasts that can serve in the legion, how many have good tempers and gentle, cute appearances? He couldn't think of any no matter how hard he tried.

"Let's ask a professional," Oswin said, somewhat dejected.

"A professional? Who is it?" Josh asked curiously.

"Askan knows these magical beasts better than anyone," Oswin said through gritted teeth. He regretted not learning more about these magical beast species before, no matter how busy he was.

“Askan? I’ll ask him.” Josh said, picking up his communicator to send a message to Askan.

Watching Josh's fluid movements, Oswin felt a lump in his throat, he was furious.

Askan usually doesn't reply to messages sent to him until he's resting, and since it wasn't anything urgent, Josh put down the communicator.

Oswin, who had started teasing but then changed his expression, said, "Didn't you tell me to ask? I, the farmer, have been following your orders. Why are you getting angry, little steward?"

“I was just saying it offhand, I didn’t say I had to ask him,” Oswin replied quickly.

“Okay, then who else are you planning to ask? I’ll wait for your reply.” Josh looked at him calmly, a smile on his face.

Oswin sighed again, "You've already asked, so let's go with him. I can't very well ask anyone else." In fact, he really couldn't think of a second one.

"Pfft!" Josh tried to suppress his laughter, but couldn't help bursting out laughing when he saw the awkward Oswin.

Before the steward could get angry, Josh scurried away. After inspecting the large-leaf ant bean field, Josh took a detour to check on Farm Number One, where he had planted windwort, using roots with the stems and leaves cut off.

After some time, many new shoots have sprouted. Although they are sparse, they are free from pests and diseases and are growing well.

It was nibbled on by the jumping lambs before, but it's not a big problem. After all, it's grass, and as long as it gets enough nutrition, it will grow back.

Seeing these raingrass plants reminded Josh of the dried raingrass sheets stored in the warehouse.

It's a large quantity; if we just use it to make tea for ourselves on the farm, it would take us countless years to finish it.

Josh thought to himself, why not take this opportunity to launch another beverage?

However, the taste of the herb alone is mild and the aroma is refreshing, but it is not very competitive in the market and is difficult to attract customers. It needs to be paired with some magic fruit to enhance the taste and sell better.

After a quick thought, I realized that there weren't any magic fruits on the farm that could be paired with the Wind and Rain Grass at this time of year, and even the Giant Lemon would have to wait a few more months.

Forget it, let's wait and see. There's no rush to release new products. Quality and taste are the top priorities. We can't release new products just for the sake of releasing new ones.

We can't afford to let the reputation of Weiguang Farm decline.

The newly planted fruit trees are growing well. The button hazelnut, peach coconut, and gem mountain papaya are all growing well. Although they still look bare, Josh can feel their growing vitality.

Needless to say, the shrubs were pruned by Josh after they were planted, for fear that transplanting them would affect their budding this year. Now they all look like bare stems, pitiful.

That is to say, Josh could sense that they were active. Someone else might have thought that these rose berries and red arugula were dead.

The only thing giving Josh a headache right now is the brown jelly that's still sitting in the warehouse.

This thing isn't a plant, but a type of fungus. In a moist and fresh environment, it can grow into a fungus that looks like a witch's cauldron, with a jar containing a jelly-like pulp.

It is a precious medicinal material that can nourish the body, remove hidden injuries, and provide considerable relief for long-term chronic pain. It is a material that many pharmacists dream of.

At the same time, their smooth and tender texture makes them suitable for making various delicious foods, which are very popular among powerful families.

Of course, even among the wealthy and powerful, there aren't many who can afford to eat brown jelly as a meal.

The reason is that this thing is too difficult to grow.

Unlike magic fruit trees, crops in the fields have precedents that can be followed and some can be grown.

The brown jelly is completely wild, and its growth requirements are entirely unknown. The boxes of well-preserved brown jelly spores in Josh's hands are the spoils they harvested in a certain secret realm.

It wasn't that Josh was particularly confident in his talent and skills, or that he was certain he could grow it.

Rather, these brown-skinned jelly fruits, even if not used as seeds, are a very valuable commodity, no less valuable than other seeds.

This is also why Josh chose it; she wasn't worried about losing money.

Babies, I've seen all the comments about the two male supporting characters in the last few chapters. I mentioned before that my writing of romance storylines wasn't very good and I would try to avoid writing them, but playing with sheep every day can get a bit boring, so I wrote them again.

But what I want to tell you now is that there is only one absolute protagonist in this story, Josh. Even in the end, there will be no male lead. The two of them are just tools to boost Josh's dopamine levels in his mundane life. I don't plan to assign Josh a fixed partner. They'll blush and get excited with each other, and that's it. Josh won't fall in love with anyone. Yeah, that's all!
